Edward C. DuMont has been nominated to fill the vacancy at the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit when Chief Judge Paul Michel retires from the bench at the end of May. I could not find any recordings of Mr. DuMont arguing before the CAFC; however, you can listen to this recording of Mr. DuMont arguing before the Supreme Court in Hercules, Inc. et al. v. United States, 516 U.S. 417 (1996): [Listen]. The case concerned whether chemical manufacturers could recover from the United States their costs incurred defending Agent Orange tort claims. Mr. DuMont has argued eighteen cases before the Supreme Court of the United States.
